Yesterday I was intrigued a bog title I saw, Why the Missional Church Will Fail, so I
just had to read what the naysayer had to say. It turned out that it was not
really a negative article at all. The author is part of the missional movement.
Rather it was an enlightening article about the need for discipleship as we are
missional.
I first thought when reading the post was, hey you are
standing on my soap box. Jesus gave us a mission and that mission is to make
disciples. I see very little talk about discipleship these days. When I do I
see little action behind it.
My favorite quote from the post is "If you
disciple people well, you will always get the missional thing. Always."
Another
quote that hits the point, " So what is the engine of
the church? Discipleship. I’ve said it many times: If you make disciples,
you will always get the church. But if you try to build the church, you will
rarely get disciples."
These
quotes come from the beginning of the blog post there is much more meat to the
blog. You can read the entire post here.
